Purchased at the Vermeer "The Geographer" and Dutch/Flemish Painting Exhibition. 269 pages. - From the collection of the Städel Museum - Language: Japanese After purchase, I only flipped through it a few times, and it has been stored in a bookshelf since then. It is in beautiful condition. There are no stains, folds, or writing. There is no yellowing (discoloration) of the paper. However, upon close inspection, there is a slight, subtle age-related change in the paper at the top (the perception of this may vary from person to person). I am a non-smoker and do not have any pets. It is stored in a glass-fronted bookshelf. Please rest assured about hygiene. It will be shipped in simple packaging. Please understand the above before purchasing.
